money is gone but the special deposits and
trusts of which the firm had great many
are all intact and will be returned to their re-
Spective owners. A large amount OF the firms
Indebtedness will be to Chicago parties, sew

MT. Amos Waldo has been acting rath- CT queerly for some time, and on Saturday evening he attempted suicide by stabbing himself, with pocket knife, in the neck and side. This not being effective he tried putting his head against stud in the attic of the house where he lived. His sister, who was his housekeeper, had gone for assistance, and obtaining it went up stairs, when Waldo jumped from a window, but was soon caught by other neighbors who were just arriving, and taken into the house. It was necessary to bind him to prevent his doing himself further injury. fDr. Leonard was called and dressed his wounds, and at last ac. counts he was in fair way to recover. MT. Waldo is single man, an industrious farmer, and has much improved the place which he bought few years ago and lives upon.
